FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing the appearance of the information processing apparatus according to the embodiment of the present invention. Further, FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing an internal configuration of the information processing apparatus according to the present embodiment.

The information processing device 10 of the present embodiment is, for example, an ID card such as an employee ID card, and is a control unit 11, a display unit 12, a storage unit 13, a network communication unit 14, an acceleration sensor 16, and an angular velocity sensor 17. And have. These components are capable of transmitting and receiving data or signals through the bus to each other.

The display unit 12 is composed of a liquid crystal display (LCD: Liquid Crystal Display), an organic EL (OLED: Organic Light-Emitting Diode), electronic paper, and the like.

The storage unit 13 is a large-capacity rewritable non-volatile memory (EEPROM or the like) or the like, and stores a plurality of contents displayed on the display unit 12.

The network communication unit 14 is a communication interface including a communication module such as a LAN chip (not shown). The network communication unit 14 is connected to a server or the like via a network such as a public line network, and performs data communication with the server or the like. For example, the content transmitted from the server (normal content and interrupt content described later) is received by the network communication unit 14 and stored in the storage unit 13.

The acceleration sensor 16 is a known three-axis acceleration sensor built in the information processing device 10, and detects accelerations in the three directions of the X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis on the screen of the display unit 12 in three directions. The respective detection signals XS, YS, and ZS indicating the acceleration are output.

The angular velocity sensor 17 is a known angular velocity sensor and detects the rotation angle of the information processing apparatus 10. Here, two angular velocity sensors 17 are provided. On the other hand, the angular velocity sensor 17 detects the rotation of the screen of the display unit 12 around the Y axis, and outputs a detection signal HS indicating the rotation angle. The other angular velocity sensor 17 detects the rotation of the screen of the display unit 12 around the X axis, and outputs a detection signal VS indicating the rotation angle.

The control unit 11 is composed of a processor, a RAM (Random Access Memory), a ROM (Read Only Memory), and the like. The processor is a CPU (Central Processing Unit), an MPU, an ASIC, or the like. The control unit 11 functions as a control unit 21, a displacement detection unit 22, a tilt detection unit 23, and a communication control unit 24 when the control program stored in the ROM or the storage unit 13 is executed by the processor. .. It should be noted that each of the above-mentioned components of the control unit 11 may be configured by a hard circuit, regardless of the operation based on the above-mentioned control program.

The control unit 21 performs overall operation control, but mainly performs display control of the display unit 12. The communication control unit 24 controls the communication operation of the network communication unit 14.

When the detection signal YS of the acceleration sensor 16 exceeds the preset threshold value S or the detection signal YS falls below the threshold value −S, the displacement detection unit 22 processes information in the upward or downward direction as shown in FIG. The displacement of the device 10 is detected.

The tilt detection unit 23 detects the acceleration of gravity based on the detection signals XS, YS, and ZS of the acceleration sensor 16, and the direction of the acceleration of gravity as shown in FIGS. 4 (A), (B), and (C). (Vertical direction) V is obtained, and the direction of the X-axis or Y-axis of the screen of the display unit 12 with respect to the vertical direction V is detected.

For example, when the user hangs the strap ST (shown in FIG. 1) of the information processing device 10 around his / her neck and hangs the information processing device 10, the screen of the display unit 12 is omitted as shown in FIG. 4 (A). Wake up vertically. In this case, since the vertical direction V is substantially parallel to the Y-axis of the screen of the display unit 12, the tilt detecting unit 23 detects the substantially vertical direction as the direction of the Y-axis of the screen.

Further, when the user looks at the screen of the display unit 12 of the information processing device 10, he / she holds the information processing device 10 in his / her hand and keeps the screen of the display unit 12 substantially horizontal as shown in FIG. 4 (B). .. In this case, since the vertical direction V is substantially orthogonal to the X-axis and the Y-axis of the screen of the display unit 12, the tilt detecting unit 23 detects the substantially horizontal direction H as the direction of the X-axis and the Y-axis of the screen.

Further, when the user tilts the screen of the display unit 12 around the Y axis of the screen as shown in FIG. 4C, the tilt detection unit 23 has the vertical direction V as the Y axis of the screen of the display unit 12. Since it is substantially orthogonal to the above, the substantially horizontal direction H is detected as the direction of the Y axis of the screen.

Further, the tilt detection unit 23 has an inclination direction K and an inclination angle around the Y axis of the screen of the display unit 12 with respect to the horizontal direction H as shown in FIGS. 4 (C) and 5 based on the detection signal HS of the angular velocity sensor 17. Detect α. Further, as shown in FIG. 5, the inclination detecting unit 23 detects the inclination direction K and the inclination angle α in both the forward direction and the reverse direction of the Y axis.

It is also possible to detect the tilt direction K and the tilt angle α of the screen of the display unit 12 based on the respective detection signals XS, YS, and ZS of the acceleration sensor 16. Further, instead of the acceleration sensor 16, a pendulum type or float type tilt sensor may be used to detect the direction of the screen of the display unit 12.

Here, the storage unit 13 stores a plurality of normal contents in which the display order displayed on the display unit 12 is preset. The display order of each normal content is set to cyclic, and it is possible to move from the last display order to the first display order and from the first display order to the last display order. There is.

The control unit 21 reads the normal content in the first display order from the storage unit 13 and displays it on the screen of the display unit 12. As shown in FIG. 4B, the user views this screen with the screen of the display unit 12 of the information processing apparatus 10 substantially horizontal.

Then, when switching the normal content displayed on the screen of the display unit 12, the user tilts the screen of the display unit 12 around the forward direction of the vertical Y axis as shown in FIG. 4 (C). The tilt detection unit 23 detects the tilt direction K and the tilt angle α around the forward direction of the Y axis of the screen. When the tilt angle α is equal to or larger than a preset predetermined angle, the control unit 21 displays the normal content displayed on the screen on the higher side in the tilt direction K of the screen detected by the tilt detection unit 23. It is displayed so that it gradually erases while moving from to the lower side.

Then, the control unit 21 reads out the content having the next display order from the storage unit 13, and on the screen of the display unit 12, the empty area (the empty area) in which the previous content is gradually erased and expanded as described above (as described above). In the area where the previous content is not displayed), the read content in the next display order is displayed so as to gradually appear while moving from the high side to the low side in the inclination direction K.

Similarly thereafter, while the tilt angle α and the tilt direction K are maintained, a plurality of normal contents are sequentially read from the storage unit 13, and each of the normal contents is displayed in the tilt direction K on the screen of the display unit 12. It is displayed sequentially so as to move from the high side to the low side.

When the screen of the display unit 12 is tilted in the opposite direction of the vertical Y axis, the tilt detection unit 23 detects the tilt direction K and the tilt angle α around the reverse direction of the vertical Y axis of the screen. .. When the tilt angle α is equal to or greater than the above-mentioned specified angle, the control unit 21 displays the normal content displayed on the screen from the high side to the low side in the tilt direction K of the screen detected by the tilt detection unit 23. Is displayed so that the content is gradually erased while moving in the direction opposite to that in the forward direction.

Then, when the user returns the screen of the display unit 12 of the information processing apparatus 10 to substantially horizontal and the inclination angle α around the vertical Y axis of the screen detected by the inclination detection unit 23 becomes smaller than the above-mentioned specified angle, The control unit 21 stops the display as described above for moving the normal content on the screen of the display unit 12.

Therefore, the user can switch and display various normal contents by holding the information processing apparatus 10 in his hand and keeping or tilting the screen of the display unit 12 substantially horizontally.

On the other hand, in addition to the normal content, the storage unit 13 stores interrupt content that is interrupted in the middle of the sequential display of the normal content and displayed on the display unit 12.

In the information processing device 10, the network communication unit (NW communication unit in FIG. 2) 14 sets the interrupt content transmitted from the external information processing device at the time when the timing for displaying the interrupt content arrives, or. When the following conditions are satisfied, it may be received and stored in the storage unit 13.

For example, (i) the control unit 21 causes the network communication unit 14 to request the external information processing device to transmit the interrupted content when the user's state (fatigue degree) becomes a predetermined state. , The interrupt content is received from the external information processing device, and the interrupt content is stored in the storage unit 13. Here, "when the user's state (fatigue degree) is in a predetermined state" is defined as the direction of the Y-axis of the screen of the display unit 12 by the tilt detection unit 23 based on the output from the acceleration sensor 16. When the control unit 21 determines that only the substantially vertical direction is detected and that the two angular velocity sensors 17 do not detect the rotation of both the Y-axis and the X-axis of the screen of the display unit 12. Is.

Alternatively, (ii) the control unit 21 causes the network communication unit 14 to request the external information processing device to transmit the interrupt content at a predetermined time, and the external information processing device causes the external information processing device to transmit the interrupt content. The interrupt content is received, and the interrupt content is stored in the storage unit 13. Here, the "predetermined time" is, for example, any or all of 8:00 am at commuting time, 12:00 pm at lunch time, and 5:30 pm at commuting time. In this case, for example, the timer built in the control unit 11 measures the time.

Alternatively, (iii) the control unit 21 causes the network communication unit 14 to request the external information processing device to transmit the interrupt content when the information processing device 10 is in a predetermined position, and the external information processing unit 21 requests the transmission of the interrupt content. The interrupt content is received from the information processing device, and the interrupt content is stored in the storage unit 13. Here, the "predetermined position" is, for example, any or all of the entrance of the workplace, the dining room in the workplace, and the conference room in the workplace. In this case, for example, the current location information of the information processing apparatus 10 is acquired by the GPS function built in the control unit 11 or the communication between the beacon arranged in the workplace and the network communication unit 14.

The control unit 21 sets the interrupt timing of the interrupt content at the time of sequentially displaying each normal content as described above, interrupts the sequential display of each normal content at the interrupt timing, and reads the interrupt content from the storage unit 13. Is displayed on the display unit 12. Then, the control unit 21 measures the elapsed time from the start of displaying the interrupt content, and when the elapsed time reaches a certain time, the display of the interrupt content is deleted from the display unit, and the display of each normal content is sequentially displayed. Resume.

Further, the control unit 21 keeps displaying the interrupt content for a certain period of time or longer in response to the displacement detection of the upward or downward information processing apparatus 10 shown in FIG. 3 by the displacement detection unit 22, or the interrupt content. Clear the display.

This makes it possible to display various interrupted contents in an interrupted manner while maintaining an appropriate time interval that does not make the user feel annoyed while sequentially displaying a plurality of normal contents.

Next, the flowchart shown in FIG. 6 shows the processing procedure for switching the normal content displayed on the display unit 12 and displaying the interrupted content according to the operation of the information processing apparatus 10 by such a user. It will be explained with reference to.

First, the user hangs the strap ST of the information processing apparatus 10 around his / her neck, hangs the information processing apparatus 10, and turns on the switch of the information processing apparatus 10 to activate the information processing apparatus 10 (S101). When the information processing device 10 is activated, the control unit 21 reads out the content C1 in the first display order predetermined from the storage unit 13, and displays the content C1 in the display unit 12 as shown in FIG. 7A. Displayed on the screen (S102).

When the user hangs the information processing apparatus 10, the screen of the display unit 12 is raised substantially vertically as shown in FIG. 4 (A), so that the tilt detection unit 23 is directed to the Y-axis direction of the screen of the display unit 12. Detects approximately vertical direction. In this case, the control unit 21 determines that the screen direction of the display unit 12 is not the horizontal direction (S103 “No”), repeats the processes of S102 and S103, and displays the content C1 in the first display order in the display unit 12. While continuing to display on the screen of, it waits for the screen direction of the display unit 12 to become a substantially horizontal direction.

Here, when the user holds the information processing device 10 in his hand and makes the screen of the display unit 12 substantially horizontal, the vertical direction V becomes the X-axis and the Y-axis of the screen of the display unit 12 as shown in FIG. 4 (B). Since they are substantially orthogonal to each other, the tilt detecting unit 23 detects a substantially horizontal direction as the direction of the X-axis and the Y-axis of the screen of the display unit 12. In this case, the control unit 21 determines that the direction of the screen of the display unit 12 is substantially horizontal (S103 “Yes”), and around the vertical Y-axis of the screen of the display unit 12 detected by the tilt detection unit 23. The inclination direction K and the inclination angle α of the above are acquired (S104). Then, the control unit 21 determines whether or not the inclination angle α is equal to or greater than a preset predetermined angle Q (for example, 20 °) (S105).

At this time, assuming that the user keeps the screen of the display unit 12 substantially horizontal, the control unit 21 determines that the inclination angle α around the vertical Y axis is less than the specified angle Q (S105 “”. No "), the content C1 will be continuously displayed on the screen of the display unit 12. Then, when the control unit 21 determines that the vertical Y-axis direction of the screen of the display unit 12 detected by the tilt detection unit 23 is maintained substantially horizontally (S106 “Yes”), the control unit 21 from S104. Repeat the process. That is, as shown in FIG. 4B, as long as the vertical Y-axis direction of the screen of the display unit 12 is maintained substantially horizontally, it is assumed that the user operation for switching and displaying the content is continued. , The process from S104 is repeated.

Then, when the user tilts the screen of the display unit 12 around the vertical Y-axis and the control unit 21 determines that the tilt angle α around the vertical Y-axis is equal to or greater than the specified angle Q (S105 “Yes”). , The control unit 21 calculates the number of times N of switching display of the normal content from the first normal content (S107), and determines whether or not this number N has reached the preset predetermined number of times M (S108). .. For example, if the specified number of times M is preset to "3", it is before the display is switched from the first normal content C1 to the next normal content, and therefore the number of times N is "0". , The control unit 21 determines that the number of times N has not reached the specified number of times M (S108 "No"). The number of times N is counted by a counter built in the control unit 11.

In this case, the control unit 21 causes the normal content C1 to be displayed so as to gradually erase the content C1 while moving from the high side to the low side in the tilt direction K of the screen detected by the tilt detection unit 23. Further, the control unit 21 reads out the content having the next display order according to the forward direction or the reverse direction of the vertical Y axis of the screen from the storage unit 13, and displays the content on the screen of the display unit 12 as described above. Then, in the empty area (the area where the previous content is not displayed) in which the previous content is gradually erased and expanded, the read content in the next display order is moved from the high side to the low side in the inclination direction K. It is displayed so as to gradually appear while moving toward it, and further, the number N of switching displays of the normal content from the first normal content is counted up by "1" by the above counter (S109).

For example, (I) the control unit 21 is as shown in FIG. 7 (B) when the screen of the display unit 12 is tilted around the forward direction of the vertical Y axis and the tilt angle α becomes the specified angle Q or more. The normal content C1 is displayed on the screen of the display unit 12 so as to move from the high side to the low side in the tilt direction K, and at the same time, the normal content C2 in the next display order is moved from the high side to the low side in the tilt direction K. As shown in FIG. 7C, the normal content C1 is hidden on the screen, and only the normal content C2 in the next display order is displayed on the screen.

Further, (II) the control unit 21 is as shown in FIG. 7 (D) when the screen of the display unit 12 is tilted in the opposite direction of the vertical Y axis and the tilt angle α becomes the specified angle Q or more. On the screen of the display unit 12, the content C1 is displayed so as to move from the high side to the low side in the tilting direction K in the opposite direction to the case of (I), and at the same time, the display is moved in the opposite direction. The normal content CN in the next display order when displayed in the opposite direction is displayed so as to move from the high side to the low side in the tilt direction K, and the normal content C1 is displayed on the screen as shown in FIG. 7 (E). It is hidden and only the normal content CN in the next display order is displayed on the screen.

After that, when the control unit 21 determines that the vertical Y-axis direction of the screen of the display unit 12 detected by the tilt detection unit 23 is maintained substantially horizontal (S106 “Yes”), the normal content Assuming that the user operation for switching and displaying is continued, the process from S104 is repeated.

After that, for example, if the user returns the screen of the display unit 12 to a substantially horizontal position, the control unit 21 determines that the inclination angle α around the vertical Y axis is less than the specified angle Q (S104, S105). "No"), the movement display of the normal content on the screen of the display unit 12 is stopped, and S106, S104, and S105 are repeated without displaying the next normal content. As a result, when the screen of the display unit 12 is returned to a substantially horizontal position, the normal content displayed on the screen is continuously displayed.

Further, assuming that the user maintains the inclination of the screen of the display unit 12 around the vertical Y axis, the control unit 21 determines that the inclination angle α around the vertical Y axis is equal to or greater than the specified angle Q (S105). "Yes"), again, the number N of switching display of the normal content from the first normal content is calculated (S107), and it is determined whether or not this number N has reached the specified number M (S108).

At this time, for example, the normal content C1 has just been switched to the normal content C2 or CN in the next display order, the number of times N of the switching display is "1", and the specified number of times M is "3" as described above. When set to "", the control unit 21 determines that the number of times N has not reached the specified number of times M (because the number of times N of the switching display is "2" at this point) (S108 "No"). , The normal content is displayed on the screen of the display unit 12 so as to be gradually erased while moving from the high side to the low side in the tilting direction K. Further, the control unit 21 reads out the content having the next display order according to the forward direction or the reverse direction of the vertical Y axis of the screen from the storage unit 13, and displays the content on the screen of the display unit 12 as described above. Then, in the empty area (the area where the previous content is not displayed) in which the previous content is gradually erased and expanded, the read content in the next display order is moved from the high side to the low side in the inclination direction K. It is displayed so as to gradually appear while moving toward (S109).

Then, when the control unit 21 determines that the vertical Y-axis direction of the screen of the display unit 12 detected by the tilt detection unit 23 is maintained substantially horizontally (S106 “Yes”), the process from 104 is performed. repeat.

Similarly thereafter, the control unit 21 displays the normal content switched from the first normal content when the user maintains the tilt of the screen of the display unit 12 around the vertical Y axis (S105 “Yes”). If the number of times N is calculated (S107) and the number of times N does not reach the specified number of times M (S108 “No”), the normal content displayed on the screen of the display unit 12 is displayed from the side with the higher inclination direction K. The content is displayed so as to be gradually erased while moving to the lower side, and the content having the next display order according to the forward direction or the reverse direction of the vertical Y axis of the screen is read from the storage unit 13. On the screen of the display unit 12, the content of the next display order read out is displayed in the empty area (the area where the previous content is not displayed) in which the previous content is gradually erased and expanded as described above. The process of gradually appearing while moving from the high side to the low side in the inclination direction K (S109) is repeated.

Then, when the number of times N of switching display of the normal content from the first normal content increases and reaches the specified number of times M with the switching display of the normal content on the screen of the display unit 12 (S108 “Yes”). The control unit 21 displays the normal content displayed on the screen of the display unit 12 at this point so as to gradually erase it while moving from the high side to the low side in the tilt direction K, and displays the interrupted content. The next content read from the storage unit 13 and read into the empty area (the area where the previous content is not displayed) in which the previous content is gradually erased and expanded as described above on the screen of the display unit 12. The contents in the display order are displayed so as to gradually appear while moving from the high side to the low side in the inclination direction K.

Then, the timing for switching the display to the content of the next display order, which is performed after the number of times N reaches the specified number of times M, is set as the interrupt timing. That is, the control unit 21 displays the interrupt content on the screen of the display unit 12 at the interrupt timing, so that the interrupt content is displayed on the screen of the display unit 12 instead of displaying the content in the next display order. For this purpose, the control unit 21 displays the normal content displayed on the screen of the display unit 12 at this point so as to be erased while moving from the high side to the low side in the tilt direction K, and interrupt content. Is read from the storage unit 13, and the interrupt content is displayed on the screen of the display unit 12 in a free area (area in which the previous content is not displayed) in which the previous content is gradually erased and expanded as described above. , The display is displayed so as to gradually appear while moving from the high side to the low side in the inclination direction K (S110).

For example, as shown in FIG. 8A, the content C4 is normally displayed on the screen of the display unit 12 while moving from the high side to the low side in the tilt direction K, and the interrupt content D1 is tilted. It is displayed so as to gradually appear while moving from the high side to the low side of the direction K.

At this time, when a plurality of interrupt contents are stored in the storage unit 13, the control unit 21 is predetermined according to the forward direction rotation or the reverse direction rotation of the vertical Y axis of the screen of the display unit 12. The interrupt contents in the display order are read from the storage unit 13, and the read interrupt contents are displayed. As shown in FIG. 9, for example, the control unit 21 displays a plurality of interrupt contents D1, D2, and D3 in a predetermined manner according to the forward direction or the reverse direction of the vertical Y axis of the screen of the display unit 12. Display cyclically according to the order.

Further, the control unit 21 measures the elapsed time T from the start of displaying the interrupt content, determines whether or not the elapsed time T has reached TA for a certain period of time (S111), and continues the interrupt content by the user. It is determined whether or not an operation for instructing the display is performed (S112). The operation for inputting and instructing the continuous display of the interrupted content is, for example, an operation of shaking the information processing device 10 upward, and the operation of shaking the information processing device 10 upward is an operation of shaking the information processing device 10 upward by the displacement detection unit 22. Detected as displacement. When the displacement detection unit 22 detects the upward displacement of the information processing device 10, the control unit 21 determines that an operation for instructing the continuous display of the interrupt content has been performed.

Here, when the elapsed time T reaches TA for a certain period of time (S111 "Yes") without performing an operation for instructing the continuous display of the interrupt content (S112 "No"), the control unit 21 interrupts. The display of the content is erased from the screen of the display unit 12, and the normal content of the next display order predetermined according to the forward direction or the reverse direction of the vertical Y axis of the screen of the display unit 12 is stored in the storage unit. 13 is read from, and the read normal content is displayed on the screen (S109). That is, the control unit 21 displays the normal content that should have been originally displayed when the interrupt timing arrives on the screen of the display unit 12.

Then, the control unit 21 confirms that the direction of the vertical Y-axis of the screen of the display unit 12 detected by the tilt detection unit 23 is maintained substantially horizontally (S106 “Yes”), and from 104. Repeat the process. Therefore, the sequential display of each normal content is resumed.

Further, when the control unit 21 determines that the operation for instructing the continuous display of the interrupt content has been performed before the elapsed time T reaches the TA for a certain period of time (S111 "No"), the control unit 21 determines that the operation has been performed (S112 "Yes"). The display of the interrupt content displayed on the screen of the display unit 12 is continued at the time when the operation of the input instruction is performed (the time when the displacement detection unit 22 detects the upward displacement of the information processing device 10) (S113). Therefore, for example, when the operation of shaking the information processing device 10 upward is set as an operation for instructing the continuous display of the interrupt content, the user can shake the information processing device 10 upward. The interrupt content can be continuously displayed regardless of whether or not the elapsed time T has reached TA for a certain period of time.

After continuously displaying the interrupt content, the control unit 21 determines whether or not an operation for instructing the user to stop the continuous display of the interrupt content has been performed (S114). The operation for instructing the input to stop the continuous display of the interrupt content is, for example, the operation of shaking the information processing device 10 downward, and the operation of shaking the information processing device 10 downward is the operation of shaking the information processing device 10 downward by the displacement detection unit 22. Detected as a displacement in the direction. When the displacement detection unit 22 detects the downward displacement of the information processing device 10, the control unit 21 determines that an operation for instructing the input to stop the continuous display of the interrupt content has been performed.

When an operation for instructing to stop the continuous display of the interrupt content is performed (S114 "Yes") while the display of the interrupt content is being continued (S113), the control unit 21 stops the display of the interrupt content. It is hidden, and the normal content of the next display order (which should have been originally displayed when the interrupt timing arrives), which is predetermined according to the forward direction or the reverse direction of the vertical Y axis of the screen of the display unit 12. The normal content) is read from the storage unit 13, and the read normal content is displayed on the screen (S109). Then, when the control unit 21 determines that the vertical Y-axis direction of the screen of the display unit 12 detected by the tilt detection unit 23 is maintained substantially horizontally (S106 “Yes”), the control unit 21 from S104. The process is repeated to resume the sequential display of each normal content.

On the other hand, when the user does not keep the screen of the display unit 12 substantially horizontal and hangs the strap ST of the information processing device 10 around his / her neck to hang the information processing device 10, the vertical direction V is displayed on the display unit. It becomes parallel to the vertical Y-axis of the 12 screens. At this time, the control unit 21 determines that the vertical Y-axis direction of the screen of the display unit 12 is not maintained substantially horizontally (S106 “No”), and switches and displays the normal content and the interrupt content. Assuming that the user operation of is completed, the process returns to the process from S102.

As described above, in the present embodiment, the interrupt timing of the interrupt content is set when each normal content is sequentially displayed, and the interrupt content is displayed on the display unit at the interrupt timing, so that various contents can be displayed. .. That is, it is possible to interrupt display various contents while sequentially displaying a plurality of contents.

In the above embodiment, the timing for displaying the content in the next display order, which arrives after the number N of the switching display of the normal content from the first normal content reaches the specified number M, is set as the interrupt timing. Although the interrupt content is displayed at this interrupt timing, another timing may be set as the interrupt timing instead. For example, the control unit 21 arrives after displaying a predetermined normal content (for example, the normal content C1 in the first display order) regardless of the number N of switching displays, and the next display from the normal content C1. The timing for switching the display to the contents of the order may be set as the interrupt timing, and the interrupt contents may be displayed on the display unit 12 at this interrupt timing.

Further, the control unit 21 clocks the elapsed time from the end of the sequential display of each normal content last time, and the elapsed time is set in advance at the start of the sequential display of each normal content this time. In the above case, the timing at the start of the sequential display of each normal content this time may be set as the interrupt timing of the interrupt content, and the interrupt content may be displayed on the display unit 12 at this interrupt timing.

Further, in the above embodiment, the tilt direction K and the tilt angle α around the Y axis of the screen of the display unit 12 with respect to the horizontal direction are detected, but the tilt direction around the Y axis of the screen with respect to a predetermined direction different from the horizontal direction. K and the tilt angle α may be detected. For example, when the screen of the display unit 12 is held in an arbitrary posture, the tilt detection unit 23 detects the direction of the X-axis of the screen of the display unit 12 with respect to the vertical direction V in response to an operation such as a key. The direction of the X-axis is initially set as a predetermined direction, and then the tilt detection unit 23 detects the tilt direction K and the tilt angle α around the Y-axis of the screen with respect to the predetermined direction.

Further, in the above embodiment, the control unit 21 sets the operation of the user to shake the information processing device 10 upward as an input instruction for maintaining the display of the interrupt content on the screen of the display unit 12, and the user uses the information processing device 10. Is determined as an input instruction to erase the display of the interrupted content, but instead, the user rotates the information processing device 10 upward around the X axis of the screen of the display unit 12. The operation is determined to be an input instruction for maintaining the display of the interrupted content, and the operation of the user rotating the information processing device 10 downward around the X axis of the screen is determined to be an input instruction for erasing the display of the interrupted content. Depending on another operation such as

Further, the control unit 21 determines that the operation of tilting the information processing device 10 around the Y axis of the screen of the display unit 12 as an input instruction for requesting display switching of normal contents, and the control unit 21 responds to the input instruction. The display of the normal content is switched on the screen of the display unit 12, but instead, the control unit 21 switches the display of the normal content by the user shaking the information processing device 10 to the left or right. It may be determined that the input instruction is to be obtained, and the display of the normal content may be switched on the screen of the display unit 12 in response to the input instruction. In this case, the control unit 21 may move the display of each normal content on the screen of the display unit 12 in the direction in which the shaking operation is performed.

Further, operation keys for instructing the movement and updating of the normal content and the interrupt content are provided, and the control unit 21 responds to the instruction input by the operation of these operation keys on the screen of the display unit 12. The display may be switched.

Further, the information processing device of the present invention can be applied not only to an IC card but also to other types of portable devices.

Further, the configuration of the above-described embodiment described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 9 is merely an example of the present invention, and is not intended to limit the present invention to the configuration.
